I don't believe this would be done unless mandated by a sanctioning body.  Mandating the wearing of a piece of equipment becomes a logistical nightmare that gets a lot of push back from the idiot parents.
Then there is the time and costs of such certification.  Because of that, I don't believe any manufacturer would voluntarily pay to have their equipment tested to set the standards and possibly change their existing product to accommodate any required changes.
